Planning for Tuesday

I did well for my first day home all day--I actually didn't eat the oatmeal or yogurt I had planned for, but I did have a few licks of a fruit dip I was making to bring as a goodie to my old co-workers (cream cheese, marshmallow fluff, and crushed pineapple--a delicious way to make the fruit not so healthy ). I also had 2 liters of water, which is less than I would have had in the office, but more than I normally have when I'm home all day, so not bad overall. Moving on to tomorrow's plan:

I bought the Superfoods Rx book yesterday. I'm going to work on adding these foods into my diet. I have a lot of leftover processed diet foods that I can't just throw away. So, I'll add some in and use up the frozen dinners I have.

I love these kinds of posts, maybe cuz I love talking about food- I truly feel obsessed sometimes, but lately it's been an obsession on healthy foods. Everyones menus sound so good, I haven't really thought of mine yet, but here goes:

B- english muffin w/ 1T PB
s- small nectarine
gym- 1 hour cardio
L- big salad with grilled chicken leftovers, tomatoes, cukes, little bleu cheese and some pine nuts- light rasp vinaigrette
no snack, gonna take a nap instead been working late at night so I need a nap.
D- Homemade Cord on Bleus- baked chicken with one slice ham and fat free swiss. steamed spinach on the side.

Have to work tomorrow night too, the hardest part is trying not to eat when I get home at 3:00 am. Just GO TO BED!

I was just wondering... on a package on pasta if it says X number of calories in 1.25 cup / 85 gram - is that dry or cooked? Cooked takes up more room but weighs less (I would think)

hmm...I don't know about this one specifically. Most pasta boxes say to measure dry, but 1.25 cups dry is a LOT cooked--more than 1 serving, I would think. I would actually think cooked pasta is heavier also because it has absorbed so much water. The past in my cabinet says a servings is 3/4 cup dry (180 calories--and that's a whole-grain pasta).

Typically, I would assume it means dry--it just sounds like a big serving size to me, so who knows

Ooh, could you figure it out by the number of servings per container? If it says there are 3 servings per container but certainly not 3.75 cups of dry pasta, then it means cooked (and vice versa).
